LoTTA made great success in Chicago with
the new piece, Pawn Ticket No. no." Critics
say the piece is altogether better suited to he
abilities than anything she has attempted for
long time.
VERONA JARBEAU made a brilliant debut in
her star engagement at Hooley's. She was
accorded an enthusiastic reception on her
opening night, and during the entire week
played to crowded houses, terminating Sat
urday night in blaze of glory. Miss JAR
BsAUis now the happiest person in the world,
except FRED and the baby, both of whom are
eiialiy jubilant ard Growing as Justify as
pair OF fighting cocks.

Mrs. LANGTRY is also to be counted in with
the stars who have achieved new triumphs
this season. Her opening performance in
her new play, "As in Looking Glass; at the
Fifth Avenue theater last week, was pro-
nounced success. The New York critics all
unite in according full measure of praise to
the Lily, and say that she exhibited more
qualities of true dramatic character in this
play than in anything she has ever produced.
In one act she appears in boys costume
and gives an exhibition of skillful fencing.
Mr.. CoGHLAN has been succeeded by MAURICE
BARRYMORE as leading man. ROBERT Hill
LARD, who was formerly leading man for
HELEN DAUvRAY, has also been engaged by
Mrs. LANGTRY.

Manager SCoTT: II the Pioneer Press is
correct and ] have no brains, it is hardly
rf,t hi 10 f,u tint in,
its yiterperative article in Yesterdays issue.
1t will only be another illustration Of an
swering fool according to his folly, any
way. All that there is of it is that the scab
has been knocked off of an old sore. The
Pioneer Press was bitter enemy of Commo-
dore DAVIDSON s i'll his lifetime and doesn't
seem satisfied to let the old man rest in his
grave. now that he is dead. So far as its at
tack on me individually is concerned l
haven't q word to say.
The history of the BOOTH BARRETT failure
to play in st. Paul as gathered from reliable
sources is about this: When Mr.. BARRETT
was playing in ST. Paul last season he and
Manager SCOTT had conference with a re-
gard to date for this season. There was
some hitch in regard to terms at first-Mr.
BARRETT wanting more than the opera house
management was willing to accede to. Man
ager SCOTT proposed compromise figure,
which he estimated would just let him out on
expenses. Mr.. BARRETT conceded the fairness
of the proposition, but did not feel at liberty
to make a contract without first submitting
it to Mr.. BOOTH. Afterwards Manager SCOTT
was notified by Mr.. BARRETT's agent that the
proposed terms were satisfactory and GER
tain date was asked for. In the meantime
JAMES O'NEILL had been booked for that
particular week, and the request could not
be complied with. Manager SCOTT went to
New York and made an effort to fix them for
the succeeding week, but could not do so on
account of interfering with their other en-
gagements, which had been made up to q GER
tain time. 1t is understood, however, al
though not officially announced, that the
BOOTH BARRETT combination are fixed for
date at the ST. Paul Grand later i'll the season
probably in April.
